:program:`clang-rename` is a C++ refactoring tool. Its purpose is to perform
|
|
efficient renaming actions in large-scale projects such as renaming classes,
|
|
functions, variables, arguments, namespaces etc.
|
|
|
|
The tool is in a very early development stage, so you might encounter bugs and
|
|
crashes. Submitting reports with information about how to reproduce the issue
|
|
to `the LLVM bugtracker <https://bugs.llvm.org>`_ will definitely help the
|
|
project. If you have any ideas or suggestions, you might want to put a feature
|
|
request there.

|
Using Clang-Rename
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
:program:`clang-rename` is a `LibTooling
|
|
<https://clang.llvm.org/docs/LibTooling.html>`_-based tool, and it's easier to
|
|
work with if you set up a compile command database for your project (for an
|
|
example of how to do this see `How To Setup Tooling For LLVM
|
|
<https://clang.llvm.org/docs/HowToSetupToolingForLLVM.html>`_). You can also
|
|
specify compilation options on the command line after `--`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ clang-rename -offset=42 -new-name=foo test.cpp -- -Imy_project/include -DMY_DEFINES ...
|
|
|
|
|
|
To get an offset of a symbol in a file run
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ grep -FUbo 'foo' file.cpp
|
|
|
|
|
|
The tool currently supports renaming actions inside a single translation unit
|
|
only. It is planned to extend the tool's functionality to support multi-TU
|
|
renaming actions in the future.
|
|
|
|
:program:`clang-rename` also aims to be easily integrated into popular text
|
|
editors, such as Vim and Emacs, and improve the workflow of users.
|
|
|
|
Although a command line interface exists, it is highly recommended to use the
|
|
text editor interface instead for better experience.
|
|
|
|
You can also identify one or more symbols to be renamed by giving the fully
|
|
qualified name:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ clang-rename -qualified-name=foo -new-name=bar test.cpp
|
|
|
|
Renaming multiple symbols at once is supported, too. However,
|
|
:program:`clang-rename` doesn't accept both `-offset` and `-qualified-name` at
|
|
the same time. So, you can either specify multiple `-offset` or
|
|
`-qualified-name`.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ clang-rename -offset=42 -new-name=bar1 -offset=150 -new-name=bar2 test.cpp
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ clang-rename -qualified-name=foo1 -new-name=bar1 -qualified-name=foo2 -new-name=bar2 test.cpp
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, {offset | qualified-name} / new-name pairs can be put into a YAML
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
- Offset: 42
|
|
NewName: bar1
|
|
- Offset: 150
|
|
NewName: bar2
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
- QualifiedName: foo1
|
|
NewName: bar1
|
|
- QualifiedName: foo2
|
|
NewName: bar2
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
That way you can avoid spelling out all the names as command line arguments:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ clang-rename -input=test.yaml test.cpp
|
|
|
|
:program:`clang-rename` offers the following options:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ clang-rename --help
|
|

|
Vim Integration
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
You can call :program:`clang-rename` directly from Vim! To set up
|
|
:program:`clang-rename` integration for Vim see
|
|
`clang/tools/clang-rename/clang-rename.py
|
|
<https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/tools/clang-rename/clang-rename.py>`_.
|
|
|
|
Please note that **you have to save all buffers, in which the replacement will
|
|
happen before running the tool**.
|
|
|
|
Once installed, you can point your cursor to symbols you want to rename, press
|
|
`<leader>cr` and type new desired name. The `<leader> key
|
|
<http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Mapping_keys_in_Vim_-_Tutorial_(Part_3)#Map_leader>`_
|
|
is a reference to a specific key defined by the mapleader variable and is bound
|
|
to backslash by default.
|
|
|
|
Emacs Integration
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
You can also use :program:`clang-rename` while using Emacs! To set up
|
|
:program:`clang-rename` integration for Emacs see
|
|
`clang-rename/tool/clang-rename.el
|
|
<https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/tools/clang-rename/clang-rename.el>`_.
|
|
|
|
Once installed, you can point your cursor to symbols you want to rename, press
|
|
`M-X`, type `clang-rename` and new desired name.
|
|
|
|
Please note that **you have to save all buffers, in which the replacement will
|
|
happen before running the tool**.
